Most Reliable Used Cars UK: 10 Nobody Bought (But They Just Won't Die)

Which cars that hardly anyone bought are still on the road? We followed every car first registered in 2010 that passed its first MOT in 2013, using the DVSA's own MOT records, to see how many were still passing in 2023. Then we looked only at rare models, fewer than 8,000 (and at least 1,500) passing their first MOT, and ranked them. The best of them outlasted the Ford Fiesta, and of the 170 models we followed, one was beaten only by the Honda Jazz. Chapters 0:00 Cars nobody bought 0:38 Where the numbers come from 1:51 10.
